Was operated on May 30 for a post-surgery hernia. They wrapped up my insides with a bunch of mesh and told me it would all stay in place. Two nights ago I woke up with a lot of pain and dry-heaves. Pain bad enough I had to go back to the pain medicine. The pain seems to have subsided, leaving just very bad nausea. Now I’m off to get a CT scan. They suspect a blockage or a twist in the bowels. I don’t want another operation. ☹ Hopefully I’ll be back this afternoon to say all is well. Else I’ll be back later this week after they fix whatever it is… ---

Best wishes, **Khadaji**. Here’s hoping it was just some minor, passing microbe or something, and not a complication. Even if it is, may it be fixed well and efficiently. Hang tough! ((hugs)) ---

I’ll say a prayer for you. Later on at work I’ll check out this thread and _(shakes a stern finger)_ I expect to find you well! 🙂 ---

Dry heaves after surgery _and_ a hernia sounds like no fun at all. Best wishes. ---

[QUOTE=Khadaji] Was operated on May 30 for a post-surgery hernia. [/QUOTE] Yuck. I had that also, was just horrible. **hug** Sending all my thoughts your way. FYI I have torn some scar tissue away from the mesh–TERRIBLE pain, so bad I had to splint to breathe, but nothing that needed surgical intervention. Here’s hoping you have something fixable by the tincture of time. ---
